Q&A
answer · Dutch Schapendoes
Yes, Schapendoes are great pets! They are very affectionate and love to be part of family activities. Just be prepared for their grooming needs, as their coat can get quite fluffy!
answer · Dutch Schapendoes
Oh, mine is the same! Every day at 5 PM, she just knows it's walk time. It's almost like she can tell time. Schapendoes are known for being really in tune with their owners' routines. I swear, even if I try to sneak out without her, she finds me and gives me those puppy eyes. It's hard to resist!
answer · Dutch Schapendoes
I prefer to keep my Schapendoes' coat long because it enhances their natural beauty, but it does require regular grooming. The longer coat can get tangled easily, so I brush him several times a week. I've also noticed that keeping their coat longer helps them stay warm in colder weather, but it's all about finding the balance that works for you and your dog!

I do let my Schapendoes off leash in safe areas. They are pretty reliable.
answer · Dutch Schapendoes
I know the feeling! My Schapendoes loves to roll in the grass right after I brush her. It's like she waits for the perfect moment to ruin my hard work. Their fluffy coats are beautiful but can be a challenge to maintain.
